Summary: The Scottish Bride
Comment: I'll confess that when I read the Bride trilogy all those years ago, Tysen, eventhough he was such a periphral character, was my favourite character. All that Sherbrooke perfection made my headache, Tysen the odd duck in the lake full of swans was such a relief, and I really hoped that Catherine Coulter would write a book that would feature Tysen as the hero. That novel has finally been written and on the whole, I'm really pleased with it.
Tysen Sherbrooke is now a widower with three children, Meggie, Max and Leo. The oldest child, Meggie is 10 years old, and believes her duty in life is to protect her unworldly father from the pressures of day to day life. So when Tysen is informed he has just inherited Kildrummy Castle in Scotland, Meggie in spite of her father's objections decides to tag along in order to protect her father from the Scots and all the nitty gritty problems of running a castle.
Both father and daughter find alot more than they bargained for: from relatives that are bent on interferring to the local poeple who do not seem to care for their English lord. And then there is the mystery of Mary Rose Fordyce, also known as the Bastard. When Tysen first comes across Mary Rose, she is hiding from the unwanted attention of a neighbour, Erickson MacPhail. Tysen, a sober and honourable man feels for her plight and tries to talk to Mary Rose's uncle about what's going on. He is both angered and flabbergasted by her uncle who seems to condone MacPhail's bad behaviour. Clearly something else is going on that he is not privy to. So that when Mary Rose turns up at Kildrummy Castle seeking sanctuary after another attack, Tysen vows to protect her, even if he has to marry her himself!
As I said earlier, I've been looking forward to a book centering around Tysen, and "The Scottish Bride" is satisfying on most levels. It's great to see the general relaxing of Tysen's hitherto rather staid and stern demeanour. Mary Rose seems to bring out all the laughter and warmth that seemed to be trapped within him. The interaction between Tysen and Meggie also made for rather touching reading -- to see a father value his daughter and her abilities, is always satisfying. I think my one caveat is that Catherine Coulter did not really explore what made Tysen so different from his siblings. She goes into in somewhat, but I personally would have liked a bit more.
All in all though, this was an enjoyable novel about a devout and honourable man who finally meets the warm hearted and courageous woman he was meant to spend his life with!

Summary: My Favorite Bride Book
Comment: This is by far my favorite Bride book. I loved how Tysen and Mary Rose came together. They came together through love and respect. Tysen goes from stern to relaxed to stern then to relaxed again. It made his character believable especially all the pressures he was under. Mary Rose was so nice to read about, she wasn't a scared out of her mind person. She knew what had to be done and got it done. They came to love each other and when they married Tysen didn't have to resort to rape to have her. Bravo!!! I respect and love him for that and his moral/ethics of how to treat a person. Meggie is absolutely a kind and devout child. She wasn't smart-alecky or annoying. She truly cared for her father didn't want him hurt. Her brothers Max and Leo were awesome too. They instantly took to their new mother with little hesitation. I don't care what anyone else has said of this book, I really enjoyed it because it was a true romance. There was no show of domination from Tysen and Mary Rose was without fear of him because of it. Truly to me a great read.
